ment leader, Immediately moved that
he be suspended. The motion was
greeted with ironical laughter by Par
nellites. Cries of "hear the book
seller" referring to Smiths proprie-
torship of numerous bookstalls in Lon
DOM. Harrington Withdrew during
division on Smiths motion which was
carried. Sir Henry Holland. Secretary
of State for the Colonies, stated in the
Commons this evening that the Gov
eminent received advances from Mar
quis Lansdown. Governor General of
Canada, regarding dispute in Mani
toba. over the Red River Railway mat
ter, but said it would not be proper for
him to disclose the nature of advices
nor offer an opinion on the subject, but
the Government hoped all parties to the
controversy would abide by final de-
cisiOn. Right Hon. William Henry
Smith, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
replying to question, said the atten-
tion of the Government had been called
to the statement contained in the
Dublin Weekly News to the effect that
it would continue to publish the
reports of meetings of such branch of
the Irish National League as the Gov
eminent might order suppressed to
show futility of the Governments at
tack on the League. This paper,
Smith said, belonged to the Lord
Mayor of Dublin, 7. d. Sullivan, who
was also a member of the House of
Commons and Justice of the Peace for
Dublin. Nevertheless if any of the

course his (BaifOur'sl reply was
that O'Brien would be COM

should have reasonable accOmmoda-

applicable to political offenders in Ire

on common criminals. John Dillon
said if was manifest that the Govern
ment had no power to inflict personal
punishment upon political opponents,
especially members of the Irish Party,

security that they would not be treated
| like pickpocketS. His own experience
as political prisoner in Ireland was
| that food was melted out on the starva-

was confined in an ordinary cell it was
cruel, he being in delicate health. He
| (DillOn) was convinced the people of
England would not stand continu-
ance of treatment which the Govern
ment gave political prisoners. If the
Government persisted in this course of
treatment they would arouse a storm
of hate they would find difficult to

from offenses under ordinary law.
